Application filed September 1904. Serial No. 223,314.

that the fo lowing is a full, clear, and exactk description thereof.

My invention has reference to refrigerating apparatus and it consists incertain peculiarities of construction and combination ofparts,

as willbe fully set forth hereinafter in connection with theaccompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

Inl the said drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view ofmyimproved devices, taken f kmade of sheet metal,fpreferably galvanizedsupport on the plane indicated by theI line 1 1 in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is alike view taken on the plane indicated by the line2 2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3is a horizontal sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line3 3 in Fig. 1.

Referring by numerals to the said drawings, 1 2 designate the ends, 3the front, and 4 the back, of an inclosing case and 5 the top thereof,the said case being open at the bottom. 6 6 6 6 designate the members ofa skeleton frame, projecting inwardly from the ends, front, and back ofthe said case to sup- 'ort the refrigerator proper, which latter isiron, While the inclosing case is preferably of wood. The refrigerator 7is double-walled, as lshown at8 8 8, at sides, ends, and bottom,

except at its front, which has an opening4 9 to glve access to theinterior thereof, this opening being guarded and closed by a sheetmetaldoor 10, hinged to one of the doublewalled portions of said front, asbest shown at 11 in Fig. 3. Each end of the said refrigerator 7 isprovided with a series of strips 12 12, secured to the inner surfacethereof, to

removable shelvesP 13 13. All portions of the interior of *the describeddouble walls are in communication, and a pipe 14 leads into this spacebetweenthe walls to admit water thereto, so that said space may bekeptfilled therewith, there being a cock-concontrolled outlet-pipe 15,leading from the 5o ybase of the refrigerator 7, to empty the saidspace, if necessary, at any time; but in use the interior of therefrigerator is always surrounded by water at side, ends, and bottom,except at the front opening 9, closed by tiA door 10.

16 designates an ice-box, of sheet metal, supported on the top of thedescribed double walls, as shown, which may be filled with ice whendesired.

The refrigerator7 does not come close to the inclosingcase; but anair-space (indicated as 17 17) surrounds the said refrigerator 7 betweenit and the sides and ends, and there being communicating airopenings 1818 through the top 5. There is also awater-gage 19 communicating withthe water-space 8 to indicate the height of water in the latter atalltimes, and the front 3 of the inclosing case is provided with a door20, hinged, as shown at 21, while the top 5 is hinged, as shown at 22.

The ice-box 16 may have separate cover, if desired.

The surrounding water keeps the contents of the refrigerator fresh andcool in all ordinary weather, and should the water become too Warm atany time it can be withdrawn through the outlet-pipe 15 and fresh watersubstituted, while, if necessary, the ice-box 16 can be filled with ice,although this is seldom necessary. i

I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The hereinbefore-described refrigerating apparatus, comprising aninclosing case of wood or analogous material, open at the bottom andthere provided with a skeleton supporting-freine and provided with ahinged door and top 3 a doubleavalled sheet-metal refrigerator restingon said frame, and having a front opening covered by a protecting hingeddoor; and an open top; an ice-box resting on the top of the describeddouble walls, the space between said walls .being in communication, atfront, back, ends, and bottom; a water-inlet pipe communicating with thetop of said double-wall space and a cock-controlled outlet-pipecommunicating with the bottom of said space, and there beingcommunicating air-spaces surrounding IOC the sides and ends of saidrefrigerator, bel the county of Milwaukee and State of Vis- `tween 1tand the sald lncloslng case, an'd the consul, 1n the presence of twoWitnesses.
